Vendor Name (Text): Payee or service provider (e.g., Google Ads, Mailchimp, Canva Pro)

Due Date (Date): Date payment is due.

2. Campaign Tracker Sheet
Links each marketing initiative to financial and performance data:

Campaign ID (Text)

Campaign Name (Text): e.g., “Summer Sale 2024”

Start Date / End Date (Date)

Objective (Dropdown: Brand Awareness, Lead Gen, Sales Conversion, Retention)

Budgeted Amount ($USD) (Currency)

Actual Spent ($USD) (Formula - SUMIFS from Bills sheet)

% Budget Used (Formula: =Actual Spent / Budgeted Amount * 100)

Leads Generated (Number): Manually entered

Sales Closed (Number): Manually entered

CPC ($USD) (Formula: =Actual Spent / Clicks if available)

ROI (%) (Formula: =((Sales Value - Actual Spent) / Actual Spent)*100)

3. Budget Allocation Sheet
Maps monthly spend across marketing channels:

Month (Text): Jan, Feb, etc.

Total Marketing Budget ($USD) (Currency)

Allocated to Social Ads ($USD)

Allocated to Email Marketing ($USD)

Allocated to SEO Tools ($USD)

Allocated to Events & Sponsorships ($USD)

Remaining Budget (Formula: =Total - SUM(All Allocations))

Formulas Required

In “Campaign Tracker,” the “Actual Spent” column uses: =SUMIFS('Bills & Expenses'!E:E,'Bills & Expenses'!C:C,A2) to auto-sum all bills linked to each Campaign ID.

“% Budget Used” is calculated as a percentage of budgeted vs. actual spend.

“ROI (%)” uses the formula: =IF(F2>0,((G2-E2)/E2)*100,"N/A"), preventing division-by-zero errors.

“Remaining Budget” in “Budget Allocation” subtracts all allocations from total budget.

In “Dashboard,” grand totals use: =SUM('Bills & Expenses'!E:E)

Conditional Formatting

Overdue Bills: Red background if Due Date is past and Payment Status is “Pending” or “Overdue.”

Budget Overrun: Yellow highlight on "% Budget Used" > 95%; Red if >100%.

High ROI: Green fill for campaigns with ROI > 200%.

Low Performance: Orange fill if Leads Generated = 0 but Actual Spent > $500.

User Instructions

Step 1: Enter your total monthly budget in the Budget Allocation sheet.

Step 2: Assign each campaign a unique Campaign ID and define objectives.

Step 3: Log every marketing bill in “Bills & Expenses” with correct Campaign ID, category, and due date. The system auto-populates totals in “Campaign Tracker.”

Step 4: Update Leads Generated and Sales Closed manually for each campaign.

Step 5: Monitor the Dashboard daily for red/yellow alerts indicating overspending or overdue bills.
